The Future of Test Security

Licensure is changing

The methods used for online testing are rapidly evolving. Government agencies, professional associations and certifying bodies all need to keep up and take the opportunities that these developments present.

Tests are moving online for the convenience of candidates and to increase accessibility, particularly for those in remote locations. At the same time, many of the risks of online testing have been significantly reduced with advancements in test security.

• You have questions about the impact of technology on identity checks and authentication, cyber security, bring your own device (BYOD) and the potential for malpractice.
• You would like reassurance that online testing can be conducted in a secure testing environment.
